t 1 1 JOHN WANAMAKER. The conntry is not prosperous. Since the outset of the last presi dential campaign the party, press and political leaders generally fixed the November election of 18Urt as the date of the beginning of good times. A full half year has expir ed since the will of the republican party was declared. Thus far but one of the important issues of the campaign is nearing settlement, and hardly any noticeable improve ment of the wretched times is man-" ifest. The tide will soon set in strongly against . the republican party unless the depression in bus iness is altered. Idleness and want breed a bitter discontent which will never be overcome until there are ample employments. The foes America has to fear are not the sullen, savage Turks, nor the insurrectionists of Cuba, nor the territory-grasping British, but they are our own patient and heart tried people our own suffering, much-promised people who, be trayed and disheartened, no long er have faith in their party, and w...
